Self-similar movement of a viscous gas in a channel

Abstract

The results presented in [1] refer primarily to dropping liquids for which the influence exerted by the thermal conditions on the flow is related to the temperature dependence of the viscosity. The self-similar flow of a viscous gas in a channel with a linearly increasing wall temperature is examined in this paper. The influence exerted by the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers on heat exchange and the hydrodynamics of the flow is analyzed.
